Abstract

Increased concentrations of DNA-containing immune complexes in the serum are associated with systemic autoimmune diseases such as lupus. Stimulation of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) by DNA is important in the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and B cells. Here we show that HMGB1, a nuclear DNA-binding protein released from necrotic cells, was an essential component of DNA-containing immune complexes that stimulated cytokine production through a TLR9-MyD88 pathway involving the multivalent receptor RAGE. Moreover, binding of HMGB1 to class A CpG oligodeoxynucleotides considerably augmented cytokine production by means of TLR9 and RAGE. Our data demonstrate a mechanism by which HMGB1 and RAGE activate plasmacytoid dendritic cells and B cells in response to DNA and contribute to autoimmune pathogenesis.

  • Neutralization of Mincle inhibits neutrophil recruitment and pro-inflammatory cytokine production after intraperitoneal injection of dead tumor cells, indicating a role for SAP130-Mincle in immunogenicity of dead cells in vivo.

    “Neutralization of Mincle with a specific antibody inhibited the recruitment of neutrophils and pro-inflammatory cytokine production following intraperitoneal injection of dead tumor cells54, indicating a role for SAP130–Mincle in the immunogenicity of dead cells in vivo.”

  • SAP130 is released by necrotic and late apoptotic cells and binds Mincle, an ITAM-coupled activating receptor mainly expressed by macrophages.

    “A recent study has identified spliceosome-associated protein 130 (SAP130), which is a component of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, as another DAMP that is released by necrotic and late apoptotic cells 54. SAP130 specifically binds to macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle/Clec4e), which is an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-coupled activating receptor that is mainly”

  • The HMGB1-bound DNA complex with TLR9 and RAGE may be important for promoting inflammation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who have elevated circulating levels of DNA-containing immune complexes.

    “Specifically, HMGb1-bound DNA can form a complex with TLR9 and RAGe to induce pro-inflammatory cytokines98, which may be important for promoting inflammation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who have elevated circulating levels of DNA-containing immune complexes.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
